I am managing director for Italy, Greece, East Europe, Russia and the Middle East within Accenture Strategy. In this role I focus on advising companies and governments on business strategy, operating models, digital strategies and innovation, cost management, customer strategies, human capital management, large-scale business transformation and organizational change. I have more than 25 years of experience working for Accenture. Prior to assuming my current role, I spent two years as managing director for Accenture Management Consulting. I have held various local and international leadership roles and have deep skills in the aerospace and defense, communications, media and technology industries. I specialize in financial planning, business control models, industrial improvement programs, mergers and acquisitions, process optimization, multinational re-organizations, governance models, transformation programs, and the implementation of shared service centers. I also represent Accenture in its role as global partner for Expo 2015, the Milan-based event whose theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” embraces technology, innovation, culture, tradition and creativity and how these elements relate to food and diet.
